Answer questions from the story:
· How many people were there at the picnic?
· Who had a picnic to share?
· What was in his picnic?
· What did Jesus do when the disciples said there was not enough food?
· What did they do with the crumbs that were left over?
Ask the children to then imagine that they were the boy who had gone to listen to Jesus with 5 loaves and 2 fish.
· How would the boy have felt at each point of the story?
· What would he have thought of Jesus?
· How might this have changed throughout the story?
· What did his family think?
Present these questions to the children, and encourage them to choose one of these to focus on during the week.
· Jesus took time to spend with all the different families that came to listen to Him, who are you going to make time for this week?
· Take time to pray for people who might need Jesus to provide something for them.
In Junior Explorers (Year 4-6) we have been working through Pilgrim Pathways, thinking about what things we might need on a journey and how those things can be reflected in our journey with Jesus.
